Gradkowski a spectator

If Hue Jackson has a game plan which calls for the quarterback to do little more than toss a football from his left hand to his right hand, occasionally putting it underneath one arm, then Bruce Gradkowski ought to be up to the task of facing the Denver Broncos Sunday.

More likely, it will be either Jason Campbell or Kyle Boller at quarterback, as they were the only quarterbacks who actually threw a forward pass during the media window Thursday.

Coach Tom Cable said Wednesday Gradkowski was throwing, but “nothing downfield.” Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said before practice, “Those guys are practicing. Jason is getting work. Kyle’s getting work. Bruce is probably getting the least amount of work, but he’s working. It could be a game-time decision for making a decision about who the quarterback is.”

Unless Gradkowski is tearing off his red jersey and displaying an “S” on his chest once the media leaves, he looks to be a longshot at this point.

Darren McFadden was on the field with the offense for the second straight day, meaning he stands a decent chance of being active after missing two games, although it remains to be seen what kind of workload he’ll have against the Broncos.

The only players not present were defensive tackle John Henderson (stress fracture) and wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee). Linebacker Thomas Howard was on the field going through some rehab drills with a member of the athletic training staff with a light brace on his right knee.

In terms of personnel, defensive coordinator John Marshall said Thursday the plan was for Quentin Groves to start at weak side linebacker against Denver, with Trevor Scott moving back into the three-man rotation at end along with Lamarr Houston and Matt Shaughnessy.

Groves may not get a lot of action even if active. Given the amount of time Denver employs three wide receivers, the Raiders could spend much of the game with only two linebackers on the field.

—”Wade Phillips has somehow only won a single playoff game despite having only one losing season in eight complete seasons. (He went 7-9 in 1994 in Denver.) His career record is 82-58.”—

—”That’s pretty impressive overall, but you boil it down the winning percentage and it’s a little better than 9-7 for a season. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, that seems to be Phillips’ fate.”—

—”He’s a great coach to have if you want to go 9-7.”—

By the way MR,..Iv changed my mind on Boardwalk Empire,..I now think its awesome,..slow start, but remembering back, so was The Sopranos,..this new show is great,..that scene when that dude carved up that hookers face,..wow,..looked real. Great show.

For those worried that JR will come back to Al, note he says that there are only “31″ teams in the NFL. He looks good but I dont think his Wunderlich has changed…

The good thing about being an OC for the Raiders, is that Hue Jackson can throw Lechler in there as QB for a play or two, and have him throw a deep bomb to kyle boller.

if it doesnt pan out, people will just assume “Crazy Al must have dialed up that one from the booth.”

marxism is when you go to buy a coke and they say no charge.or you go too a raiders game and instead of buying a ticket they say go right in for free and heres a free beer and a joint and if you see a chic you like take her.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.

Who else thinks that arguing about religion is like arguing about Nacho Libre vs. Napoleon Dynamite?

The Raiders got to start Matt Shaunessy. Are they blind. Every time that guy is on the field, good things happen. Trevor Scott is a pass rusher specialist ONLY!!
